Clucky/broody feelings
Please tell me I'm not the only person who get some overwhelming broodiness every now and then?
I'm a girl and I know it wouldn't be practical to have a child, and deep down I know I don't want one for maybe 5 years, but uh! I just feel so broody sometimes. I'm not a young person in education so don't try and console me with "get your education first" because I already have that one under my belt.
Today I went out for lunch and there were couples with babies (young ones) everywhere I looked. At one point a baby was making such high squeaky happy laughs that my eyes completely filled up with tears - not entirely sure why, I suppose that maternal thing was coming out and I knew I shouldn't be happy with those laughs because, well, it wasn't my baby making them!
I've also become almost hyper-aware of pregnant women. I don't know if my area has far too many pregnant women or what, but everytime I go out to town or whatever I will see AT LEAST 5 pregnant women, usually a hell of a lot more.
I can usually control the feeling, but at those times when all the babies and big fat tummies are looking at me it feels really oppresive and I can't help but cry.
I don't know what I'm looking for, perhaps just to be told I'm normal! Does anyone else get it to stupid extent? I suppose the knowledge that feasibly I could have a child doesn't help - whereas before I always knew it was far too impractical.

Yes, fear not! I get it every now and then. I have been known to cry when I see babies who are so adorable 
. Then I spend some time with my little cousins and the feeling passes.
I never liked children, and thought seriously about not having them, but then I started to think about it more and my feelings have gone from 10/90 like/dislike to more 70/30. Then again, I'm getting long in the tooth and in a settled relationship and think about our kids (weirdo alert!!

I'm only 19 and to be honest, looking at that post, I could have written it, except for the inexplicable crying. But I do get incredibly strong feelings about babies and wanting to be pregnant...in fact sometimes I get a quite overwhelming yearning to have a baby bump. Does that make you feel better? I hope my boyfriend doesn't read this, he would f.r.e.a.k o.u.t. He knows I want babies but probably not how much lol.

Yes, starting to make me feel less of a freak. Especially those who also shed a small tear when a baby is doing it's thing. I suppose we're designed to want one to keep the human race going.
21 and already a "woman of a certain age". LOL, I thought that didn't happen till you were over 40!

Sometimes I get jealous of the chav mum's. I'm not evening lying. They already have their kids and youth ahead of them.

Well, I feel more normal after reading your post now, I get really strong feelings about babies and wanting to be pregnant, sometimes I rub my tummy and look at it just thinking about having a baby bump and imagining the feelings you must have/get when you are pregnant and have a baby.
I also get jealous of other people (especially those my age) when they have babies, but im only 20, still at uni and deep down inside know that it would be far to impractical to have a baby now
